New "Tools" page released

by Steve Sokolowski · · Post #24899

We're proud to announce the release of the new "Tools" page, which can be accessed by clicking on the new "Tools" link at the top of the website, which links to https://prohashing.com/tools/.

Constance has been hard at work addressing complaints that it can be challenging for new customers to get started with the site. We decided that a tool that can generate password arguments would make it easy to get started more quickly. The "Tools" page asks the user a few simple questions, and generates the configuration parameters for a miner based upon the answers.

Constance was also kind enough to create a "profitability estimator" as well. The data on the "Tools" page is used to compute how much money a miner can expect to earn from mining with Prohashing for a day. While this data was previously available on the "Charts" page, the new estimator doesn't require customers to perform any math to come up with the answer. Unlike many estimators elsewhere on the Internet, this page includes real-time data on coin profitability as well as the miner's hashrates, so customers can determine the profitability of any coin for any algorithm that is traded at an exchange that accepts US customers.

Please thank Constance for her hard work below if you appreciate her dedication to this task, and feel free to offer comments and suggestions!

Hey, that's pretty impressive Steve. Good job Constance! Might want to add the Bitmain Z9's as they are still pretty popular.

When a miner is no longer profitable its just blank by "estimated overall profit" at first I was confused by it till I put another unit in.

If there is a US exchange that takes X11 gost I could plug my poor little Baikal BK-X's back in if you added it :P

But really, this is well done and I can imagine a ton of work.

Must say I love the new tools page and profitability calculator! I have been asking for this feature for some time and its great to see it finally! Now my question is is there a way that we can have the option to have it from hashes per sec to where we can just have a dropdown menu option for TH or GH or MH that would make this so much easier to navigate.

Thanks,
Aramis

Hi,

I'll add this as a suggestion for Constance. That said, while we definitely want to do this at some point, I'm sure you can understand that we want to fix issues that can't be worked around first.

Constance will reply to you once it's available!
